Colleagues rally to support suspended Unite rep
Bryan Kennedy punished after leading One Housing Group workers in pay rise action

Unite rep Bryan Kennedy was suspended in February after leading low-paid One Housing Group workers in a campaign to win their first pay rise in six years.

Company bosses claim that his suspension is based on “quite serious allegations of breaching company policy.”
